'Pretty Boy Boxer' Garcia Expelled from WBC for Racist Comments

Repeated downfalls including arrest for possession of banned substances and vandalism of hotel property.

Ryan Garcia (25, USA), who was rising as a star leading the world of boxing with his good looks and fierce fists, was expelled from the World Boxing Council (WBC) for making racist remarks.

USA Today reported Garcia's expulsion on the 7th (Korean time), citing remarks from WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman.

Garcia has repeatedly used racist language on social media and criticized George Floyd, a black man who died in 2020 after being subjected to excessive force by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA토토사이트 추천

"As WBC president, I will exercise my authority to expel Garcia from all activities of our organization.

The WBC rejects discrimination in any form," Sulaiman said.

I hope Garcia finds (mental) stability," he said.

Garcia's boxing career reached its peak in the World Boxing Council super lightweight match held on April 21.

At the time, Garcia defied many people's expectations and won 2-0 by decision against WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney (25, USA).

Although he failed to win the title due to a failed weigh-in, the boxing world was excited about the birth of a star.

Garcia, who had risen to stardom, fell quickly.

Immediately after the match with Haney, he was suspended for one year by the New York State Athletic Commission after being tested for the banned substance Ostarine.

In June, he was arrested for vandalizing a hotel room and hallway in Beverly Hills.
Oscar De La Hoya, founder of Ryan Garcia's agency Golden Boy Promotions, said, "There is no place for hate or bigotry in our company.

We condemn Ryan's comments in the strongest possible terms."
